Already scalped 2 /GC trades, one up and one down. Nice way to start the day.

MGM had some news this morning which is making the stock jump. No position for me yet but might buy on a pullback. If there is one.

Good morning, Everyone-- I have something that came up unexpectedly this morning, and is going to occupy me through the open. After that, depending on the market to some degree, I'll try to get a new post up, even if just a comment cleaner.

In the meantime, I want to urge caution up here. There are quite a few areas beginning to show signs of exhaustion, and I will be watching this carefully. Financials are under pressure and XLF still has a bearish island reversal in place that I'm keeping an eye on. Potential momentum long plays include BIDU, CME, MGM, ISRG, MA, WCRX, HGSI, POT, ASIA, SOHU. I also suspect we may start to see more intraday short opportunities before long, but be careful getting bearish too soon. I am anticipating a pullback to get underway before long-- which at this point I continue to see as corrective in nature, and that will likely present a new buying opportunity.

Yup well same if they do rarely miss, the stock will move big - short % is down quite a bit from last time they reported - the vol this am is really small but they've pumped it up quite a bit - very volatile stock.
The other way to play earnings on ISRG is simply to do what brinkley did, just hop on a few days ahead ( subject to broad market going in your favour ) you can normally pick up the meat of the i.e. it's moved 254 -> 268 in 2 days? ...

I mentioned LWLG.OB Thursday or Friday. Huge move Yesterday. Expected news and a little speculative being a BB stock.....photonic quantum computing vice electronic. Photons exceed electrons for faster speeds than ever approached. Do your own DD.

DISCLAIMER: Long since a buck or so.

Thanks for the link to this chart and comments. It is pretty amazing how well it has followed the "tines".

Hi Ropey, I like your ISRG plan. That's the way I'll do it, unless ISRG is down, then I'll go long the dip.

BIDU has the same p/e ( fundamentals) that FSLR had 2 years ago--I had to tell everybody keep going long FSLR ( true story btw) till it got to $315, where it would be a short!
I had lots of help from the other traders on that site--It's too bad the guy started using comment moderation. It destroyed the comment section. it was a great comment site. (350 comments a day) Every trade posted was a winner +100%, 100% of the time.
Now the site is dead--take a look!

The fast stochastics 14,3 channel on the 20 yr monthly SPX chart is coming up for a tough test...if we close this month another 25/30points higher, we could be looking at some very exciting new objectives.

AAPL, from a relative perspective, appears to have a lot more time/room.....ISRG at inflexion.....GS doubtful....with today's move, BIDU surviving......all this based on 5 yr weekly fast stochastics channels.....

If the market gets in gear, I think this will really rip higher. I will mention two names that are similar plays that I have been watching as well. (Full disclosure: The first I have traded recently within the last two weeks and have no position, the second I currently own in my portfolio)

The first is INET, the second is LOCM...both are STRICTLY technical buys...but I often do minor due diligence on my tickers and noticed that these are both pure web plays. On a side note, is Moo feeling better? I sent a couple of emails last week to talk about the blogroll, never heard back.

I might just have to deputize him, as I have plans. I'm glad to hear you're hitting the hay before the A.M. on your coast. :-)

Hello Chuks and Brinks.....thank you....I plan on getting a new one soon.....surprisingly, I have felt better without one....I too was planning on selling ISRG b4 earnings..... Nighty nite..!

Hi Brinks, it looks like you guys are killing it everyday. Congratulations.
I'm just not comfortable with all the breakouts I see. Historically, I don't
trade well when I'm not "feeling" it so I will just sit out for a bit or
until we get at least a little retest of the break.

Speaking of, I'm feeling it with $/Yen. Will see if it can stay above that
21ema it is testing again today. For a large, longer term trade, I like my
position so far.

Good luck to you guys.

Hi, Tilt. I warned it was volatile but I haven't stayed away. I've been long for a good while now, and today it finally got in gear. I may add on a pullback, but it will depend on what the market's doing at the time. Good to hear it's on your radar.

EUR/USD Update....

http://tinyurl.com/yhh2fdn

We are at the top side of the daily channel.. We have been in this channel for 5+ months... Looks like it wants to break higher overnight, but I am a bit suspect... we have housing starts and PPI coming out on Tues 5:30 am est..so that could be a moving event in either direction. if we should break out to the topside I see the next fib level at $1.5245 as the next target.... Lots of support from different views at the bottom of the channel.

Great short entry at this area..risk to reward is phenomenal.. Would like to see it pull away a little before I jump in with both feet...but I did take a small sized short up here with a tight stop.

I also wanted to note that the /ES is not that strong up here in relation to the /NQ's.... Really feels tired up here and due for a rest/consolidation...maybe even a pullback?

I would be careful trying new longs up here.....

Have a great night and I hope Mr. Moo is starting to feel better.

Since you look like you're standing guard with your axe at the ready, I think I'll leave you in charge for a few hours. I suddenly realized (much to my shock and dismay) that I am worn out. I think I'll sleep. Keep the PMs and oils in line for me until morning if you would, Sir. Night, night, RB. If you need to get some shut-eye just tap Jay on the shoulder. He's wide awake. ; )
